Whether you're looking for somewhere to start your regime or looking to try out new products without worrying about matching them, this box is made for everyone to try out the regime for themselves in mind. This special edition of the Althea box comes with 7 full sized products to take you from cleansing all the way to pampering. Are you ready to take on the K-Beauty challenge? Here's the beauty breakdown of Althea's 7 Step Korean Skincare Box!

Step 1: Natural Pacific Perfect Deep Cleansing Oil

Start of nice and strong, are we right? It's super important to cleanse the skin properly as makeup and dirt can clog the pores when leftover on the skin. Do the double cleanse method and start off with an oil like this one that contains plant-based oils to remove impurities from the pores. You'll be surprised at how quickly it melts makeup away too!

How to use:Massage a small amount onto dry face, making sure to dissolve makeup thoroughly before adding a little bit of water to emulsify. Finally, rinse off with water.

Step 2: The Saem Healing Tea Garden Tea Tree Cleansing Water

Clear off any leftover residue with a cleansing water to prep the skin for the next step. This one from The Saem is Mermaid-approved and contains tea tree that has anti-bacterial properties to soothe and treat blemishes. It's also super effective at hydrating and softening for skin that's soft and bouncy to the touch.

How to use: Saturate a cotton pad with product then wipe onto the skin, starting from the center of the face and working your way out till no more residue is left.

Step 3: Dr. Frog Control-Tox Peeling Gel

Whisking away dead skin gives your pores a chance to get up close and personal with your skin care products, allowing them to mingle and get down to business. It’s recommended to exfoliate twice a week for softer, smoother and brighter looking skin. This exfoliator makes the most out of enzymic peeling to gently but effectively remove dead skin cells for an even complexion. Did we mention that we love how it smells too?

How to use: Squeeze out a small amount and apply evenly onto the face. Wait for a minute, then massage the skin in circular motions to remove dead skin cells. Rinse after with water.

Step 4: Son & Park Beauty Water

Prep the skin to take on your skincare goodies with a beauty water that tones, cleanses and hydrates the skin. This multitasking product is made with skin-loving ingredients like willow bark, papaya, lavender, rose and orange fruit extracts to mildly exfoliate, brighten and hydrate the skin, getting it ready to absorb the following steps of your beauty routine to its fullest potential. Bonus tip: you can dispense some of this into a small spray bottle and carry it in your purse to spritz on as a face mist throughout the day.

How to use: Saturate a cotton pad with product then wipe onto the skin, starting from the center of the face and working your way out.

Leaguertox V-Shot Silhouette Lifting Ampoule

Ampoules are concentrates designed to target a specific skin need you may have. With super face shaping powers, this one from Leaguertox is formulated with raspberry extracts to plump and firm up the skin, filling out those pesky fine lines and saggy skin for a youthful glow. Concentrate this around the eye, smile lines and neck areas for best results!

How to use:Apply a small amount evenly onto the skin and gently pat into the skin for better absorption.

Rire Camu Camu Moisture Cream

Seal all that moisture in with some camu camu plant extract! It's packed full of vitamin C (15%!), so this cream doesn't just hydrate, it brightens and smoothens the skin too. This luxurious cream has a slightly stringy texture to it, and a little definitely goes a long way to be mindful of that.

How to use:Apply a small amount evenly onto the skin and gently pat into the skin for better absorption.

Lebaton Pearl Whitening Essence Mask

We love sheet masks, so this was a definite must have for us. Sit back and relax while this mask hydrates and brightens the skin with an essence that contains real pearl extracts.This mask claims that its essence is three times more effective than regular serums, brightening dull, tired complexions for radiant skin.

How to use: Apply onto the face and leave on for 15-20 minutes. Remove and pat in any leftover essence into the skin.
